"I have not yet made this recipe but I am a nurse an, mullepm, when you divide the carbs into 10 sevings, that 143 calories and 37 carbs turn into 14.3 calories and 3.7 carbs worth of content per serving of raisins and a teaspoon of molasses plus a tablespoon of sugar comes to very little of either when divided by 10. I am assuming you did not intend to eat this entire recipe alone."

"I forgot to mention that in addition to the sugar and molasses - 1/3 cup of golden raisins has 37+ carbs and 143 calories alone. This is a very high calorie recipe."

"There is no way that a reicpe that calls for a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of molasses is diabetic friendly. I am surprised that ToH would so call it."
